Answer 1

Tweaking Virtual Maschine Settings did the trick for me. I was also trying to run the Android emulator by starting a debug session in VS2015 Community for a Xamarin project. VS2015 was running inside a Windows10 VM based on VMware Workstation 12 Pro hosted by Windows7 on a i7 CPU. I ran into the following error message:

"... The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'VS Emulator 5-inch KitKat (4.4) XXHDPI Phone.andreas' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID ...)."

Everything worked fine after activating the following flags in the virtual machine's processor settings section:

• Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI
• Virtualize CPU performance counters
• (Preferred mode: Automatic)
